During my residency at U-Jazdowski Castle in Poland, I developed a project called The Other One, which consists in a series of posters installed on the path of the Polish Independence March in Warsaw. We produced posters with the phrase “ja to ktos inny” (“the Self is another one”), which were installed at some points in the course of the March, that happens in November 11. In recent years, the celebration has taken on an increasingly nationalist and xenophobic character. In this context, and from the creation of this counter-scenario, the project’s idea was to destabilize the consensual and closed narrative of nationalism, raising up questions through the poetic dimensions of the phrase.

In addition, I participated in a debate about nationalism, along with Ewa Majewska and Imani Brown, a entitled Alt-right. Both O Eu é um Outro project and the debate are part of the exhibition Gotong Royong. Things We Do Together. Gotong Royong means “common task,” a working method practiced in Indonesia that can be described as “things we do together by learning about them acting together”. I also exhibit in the show a video installation that demonstrates the actions and repression of police officers in demonstrations in São Paulo.
